Chapter 1 Where Am I?

"Young Marquis, please get up. It's our turn to patrol."

"Where am I?"

Qin Hu sat up groggily, feeling a chill all over. The wind was howling outside. A strange feeling welled up in his heart.

"Oh, Young Marquis, why are you so confused? We're in the military camp! It's our shift to stand guard. If we don't get up, we'll be punished according to military law. Even the old Marquis can't protect you now."

"What?"

Qin Hu opened his eyes and saw that he was in a tent. Standing before him was a soldier in leather armor.

Just as he was about to ask something, a splitting headache struck, and a massive flood of information rushed into his mind. A few seconds later, he realized he had transmigrated.

He had gone from a modern special forces soldier to a young marquis also named Qin Hu, the leader of the seven notorious young masters of the capital!

And this era, called the Great Yu Dynasty, simply did not exist in history.

Qin Hu's ancestor was one of the four dukes and twenty-eight marquises who founded the Great Yu. Three months ago, his father died of illness, and Qin Hu inherited the title, becoming the new Champion Marquis.

Spoiled by his parents since childhood, Qin Hu neither loved reading nor martial arts. He only indulged in play, food, drink, and pleasure, running rampant in the capital.

When he grew up, his family wanted him to settle down, so they arranged a marriage for him. The woman was the eldest daughter of the Duke of Chen family, named Chen Ruoli, a well-known lady, beautiful and intelligent.

This Qin Hu was vicious to everyone else, but he was exceptionally obedient to this beautiful fiancée, treating her like a treasure.

But the trouble arose with this childhood sweetheart, Miss Chen.

According to Qin Hu's memory, that day he took his fiancée to the palace to pay respects to the current Chang'an Princess. The princess and Chen Ruoli had been close friends since childhood, so she arranged a banquet.

But later, Qin Hu drank himself into a stupor. When he woke up, he was already in the inner guard's prison. He was told that he had drunkenly harassed the princess and intended to commit indecent acts.

Even more bizarre, Chen Ruoli actually submitted a memorial accusing her fiancé Qin Hu of seventy-two illegal acts, each with evidence.

Qin Hu felt as if struck by lightning, unable to believe his ears...

The imperial decree soon came down. Considering Qin Hu's ancestors' merits, he was spared the death penalty but could not escape punishment. He was sent to Youzhou to serve in the military, retaining his title to observe his future performance.

But after arriving in Youzhou, he was quickly assigned to the front line – to be at the disposal of the vanguard commander.

After these events flashed through Qin Hu's mind, he basically understood that this must be a trap.

Because the Duke of Chen had long wanted to break off the engagement with him.

The Qin and Chen families were originally in a political marriage, both wanting to become stronger and bigger. Later, Qin Hu, besides being a wastrel, was almost useless and had disgraced the Champion Marquis's mansion.

You should know that generations of Champion Marquises were heroic figures with unparalleled influence in the military, but this generation produced a good-for-nothing who had never even been on the battlefield.

When the old Marquis was alive, the Duke of Chen still gave him face, but when the old Marquis died, the Duke of Chen turned ruthless and staged a scene of breaking off the engagement at the mourning hall.

But Qin Hu deeply loved Chen Ruoli and refused to agree to it at all costs, while Chen Ruoli had long been disgusted with this young villain.

Thus, a disaster descended!

As for the Chang'an Princess, it was even simpler. She was a cousin of Qin Hu's elder brother. As long as Qin Hu died, the vast property of the Champion Marquis's mansion would naturally fall into the hands of this elder brother.

These forces, each seeking their own interests, colluded and united quickly...

As expected, entering the Marquis's mansion is like entering the deep sea. There were so many people who wanted him dead.

"Qin An, do you think we can find a place to shelter from the wind?"

Under the bright moonlight, the rough northern wind carried a piercing whistle, swept across the empty wilderness, and blew the torches flickering, like countless flying knives cutting people's skin.

"We can't, Young Marquis, we'll be punished according to military law."

Qin Hu and Qin An shrunk their heads and braved the wind, running out of the camp, stepping on the thick snow.

The weak Qin An was accidentally overturned by the wind.

Two sentries who were changing shifts saw them come out, smiled at each other sinisterly, took two handfuls of snow, extinguished the bonfire for warmth, and then crawled into the tent.

Damn it, even the soldiers have been bribed. They want to freeze me to death!

This was a very small camp, with about twenty tents, surrounded by carriages. The outer perimeter didn't even have chevaux-de-frise or antlers arranged. The nearby terrain was flat, with no natural defenses. It was clear that they did not plan to stay for a long time.

According to Qin Hu's previous life's memory, about two hundred people were stationed here. They were General Li Qin's vanguard camp, of the Yu Dynasty's Northern Expedition.

And the target of Li Qin's 20,000-strong army this time was the Yu Dynasty's longtime enemy on the border, the Kingdom of Liaodong.

"Cough, cough, Young Marquis, do you think we can go back alive?" Qin An curled up on the snow, his lips and face were blue, and he spoke weakly, as if he would die at any moment.

Qin Hu sighed in his heart. Qin An was purely implicated by him. If things continued to develop like this, the two of them would surely die.

Those who wanted him dead didn't kill him in the court, so they used dirty tricks and black hands in the military camp, trying to kill him.

But Qin Hu was not one to sit still and wait for death. This was obviously a frame-up, and he couldn't let it go.

Life is an endless struggle for survival. Just wait, I will not only survive, but also kill my way back to the capital and settle the score with you.

"Qin An, how many silver notes did we bring when we left?"

"There are no silver notes, I only have twenty taels of silver on me. The imperial decree said that we were exiled to the army, and our family property was confiscated."

Qin An was only 16 years old this year. He was Qin Hu's personal attendant, very thin and weak, already overwhelmed by the torture, and seemed to have only one breath left.

In fact, Qin Hu was not much better. These days, the vanguard camp marched 30 *li* every day, and the work they did was to open roads in the mountains, build bridges over rivers, chop firewood, boil water, dig ditches, carry water, and build camps.

And what would be the situation for these two delicate guys to be with hundreds of rough soldiers every day?

They must be doing the most tiring work, eating the worst food, suffering the most vicious beatings, and enduring the greatest grievances...

Qin Hu estimated that his predecessor might have been tortured to death.

It could be considered that he deserved it.

But he must bear this suffering now. If he can't bear it, he will also die.

"Give it to me."

Qin Hu had made up his mind. He must first find a way to save Qin An's life, and then think of other ways.

To save his life is not difficult. The easiest way is to bribe. As the saying goes, money can move gods. This method is primitive, but it always works.

But in this situation, it is impossible for him to bribe high officials because no one dares to be associated with him. Besides, he has no money.

So he thought of someone in his mind, Centurion Li Xiaokun.

He is currently the top leader of the vanguard camp. If you want to read the latest chapter content, please download Haoyue Novel, and read the latest chapter content for free without ads.
